#devhumor #programming #career #discuss

Hey Devs 👋 Whether you're pairing, writing code, lurking in PRs, or just watching your teammates debug with sweat and snacks, — you've met these devs...

Or maybe, you ARE one of them 😏

Let’s talk about the 7 types of developers you’ll meet in the wild world of software:

1. 🧙‍♂️ The Wizard (a.k.a Senior Dev)

“Oh, that bug? Fixed it while making coffee.”

Knows everything.

Types faster than light.

Uses Vim and refuses your fancy VS Code setup.

Nobody understands how their code works — but it does.

2. 💣 The Hacker Dev

“Don’t ask how it works. Just know it does.”

Always shipping something.

Does 10 things in 2 minutes — and somehow it doesn’t crash.

Forgets semicolons, breaks stuff, but fixes it real quick.

Docs? Never heard of her.

3. 😵‍💫 The “Still Learning” Dev

“Wait... what’s the difference between == and === again?”

Googles everything but learns fast.

Breaks things a lot.

Fixes them slowly.

Everyone cheers when they push their first working code 🥹

4. ⚙️ The Framework Fanatic

“Let’s rewrite the whole project in the latest cool thing!”

Loves new tools.

Always testing a “better” way.

Might suggest a full rewrite... during production.

Lives on GitHub trending and Hacker News.

5. 🧼 The Clean Code Hero

“Why is this function doing TWO things?!”

Lives for tidy code.

Won’t merge a PR if it smells weird.

Probably wrote a custom ESLint config.

They mean well... but your 5-line function just became 50 lines of “clarity.”

6. 😐 The 9-to-5 Coder

“It’s in Jira. Don’t ask me again.”

Quiet. Focused.

Does what’s needed and logs off at 5PM.

You’ve never seen them smile.

Might be running 3 side hustles, nobody knows.

7. 🎉 The Hype Dev (probably you 😎)

“Let’s build an app that texts you every time you forget to drink water.”

Brings energy to every team call.

Loves memes, ideas, and hackathons.

Can code and vibe.

When they’re around, you know something cool is happening.

Bonus: 👻 The Ghost Dev

You see their commits... but never their face.

Nobody knows if they’re real.

Are they a bot? Are they on another planet?

They exist only in Git history. Mysterious. Powerful. Probably sleeping.

So... which one are YOU?

Are you the wizard? The hype machine? The ghost?

Or did I miss a dev type completely?

Drop your dev type (or the types you’ve worked with) in the comments — and tag a teammate who matches one of these 👇

Let’s expose ourselves (respectfully 😂)

That’s all for now. May your code run smooth, your bugs stay scared, and your commit messages actually make sense.
